EDlTOR LEADER:

The report that our councilman. Mr..

toauty into the !th judicial district is
an error. He is working for us. to keep

Mathews took the floor in our behalf

ell having previously passed the House.

continued approprationsfor years, and
il will enable oilr own command tn bet
ter her position and be the equal OF
other commands throughout the coun-
try. The National Guard Of Dakota
recognizes with gratitude the interest
manifested i'm its organization by the
tax payers of the Territory, and they
are 10th to ask for greater expenditures
than those already made per annum by
the Territory for its maintenance.
They do, however, know that their fu-
ture success will be commensurate with
the Kindness extended to them, and it
remains for necessity 10 exist for this
command 10 prove its gratitude for this
kindness thus shown.
Militia representatives from all the
States have sgniiied their intention to
attend this encampmept, and i'll many
! instances the entire command from the
States will be present, the several legis-
latures voting help for this purpose.
Some of the States are seeking to di-
vert their regular annual encampment

campmant for this year, i'll the belief
that the benefit to the officers and men
will be greater than through the results

by request of a large number of officers

any recommendation or further state
ment, than the fact that there are COM
panies in Dakota whose pyolicfency in

At the request of majority of both
officers and men of the Dakota Ma
tional Guard, most respectfully call
attention to q national drill and EN-
campment which will be held in the
city Of Washington. ID. C., commencing
Monday, May %, and ending on Deco
ration Day, May 30, 1887 This
encampment is under the sIperyi-
sion of distinguished committees of
representative citizens Of the United
States, Of which the Hon. Samuel l..
Wheatley, commissioner Of the District
of Columbia, is chairman
This national drill and encampment
is the result of the advancement in the
manual Of drills of the National Guard
of America. and of concerted action
Of some Of the most efficient and promi-
nent officers of the Guard in the United
States. Its object is to stimulate, make
perfect in detail and secure uniformity
in all things pertaining to the better
development of America S reserve corps
the volunteer militia Of the country.
The general commanding the armies oi
the United States has at all times
looked with marked favor upon the adj
vancement made by these troops
throughout the United States. Amer.
lea stands alone in having standing
army composed Of men of position, cul-
ture and education, who voluntarily
MAINTAIN as complete and perfect an
organization by States as the con
scripted, or paid reserve corps and
armies of the old countries, who
are paid soldiery. Repeated efforts
have been made with a view of estab-
fishing the militia of America as her
acknowledged reserve corps. and il is
believed that the general government
will eventually promulgate a plan
wherein the present insignificant ex-
pense employed TO maintain SO superb
and safe guard, will be assumed OF
divided between the different States

one instance Of county seat troubles in

States have been called upon 10 employ
the National Guard to maintain order
and the supremacy Of the law, and well

duties in this respect. 1t is with pride
that this Office refers to the fact tina,

THE NEW LICENSE ACT.

Following is the full text of an amend
ment to the License Act, which was passed
at the last session of the Legislature, and
approved February l, 1887:
SEC. 20. The County Auditor shall
from time to time deliver to the Sheriff as
many of such licenses as may be required,
and shall sign the same and charge them
to the Sheriff /; provided, that before sign
ing or delivering any license to Sheriff,
the Auditor shall fill out the license in
full, stating therein to whom said license is
issued, the kind of business authorized to
be carried on under the license, the room,
building and placewhere the business is to be
carried on, the dates when said license be-
gins and expires, and the amount of money
to be paid therefor, and shall at the same
time make entries of the same upon the
stubs in the icense-book. Whenever any
license is returned, by the Sheriff, unsold,
the Auditor shall cancel and file the license,
and note the fact and date of such cancella-
tion upon the stubs thereof. No Board OF
County Commissioners shall audit or allow
any claim in favor of Sheriff until there
shall be filed with said Board the certified
statement of the Auditor that all settle
ments required by the list Section of the
Act of which this is amendatory, have
been made by said Sheriff. The amount
of all licenses issued to the Sheriff and not
accounted for shall be deducted before any
claim shall be allowed to Sheriff No
county shall be liable to the Auditor, other
than for his official salary, for any fees OF
for any services required of him under this
Act.
The construction placed upon this
amendment is that all persons requiring
licenses shall apply to the Sheriff for the
same, giving in the application descrip-
ton of the room or building in which the
business is to be carried Oh for which the
license is issued.
